Very simple to setup and perform as a non-root user: #configure your non-root user's rpm build environment mkdir $HOME/rpm mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386 echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros #build the rpm against your installed platform rpmbuild --rebuild your-fc6.src.rpm Jay
